A wanted man managed to escape from the police by dropping through a homemade trap door.

Police in Leeds attempted to locate the man but he would not answer the door. He then dropped into a homemade bolthole and made his escape.

A bolthole is a place where a person can escape and hide.

Npt1 – Bolt hole that’s one way to do it. Wanted male who refused to answer the door then dropped into his diy escape route. 1-0 to him but we will arrange a rematch soon 🤫 @WYP_Dronespic.twitter.com/8cz2iXDWAy
